The trains in New Jersey are not working today. Many people cannot go to work in New Jersey and New York. They must find another way to go.

The workers did not like the new work plan. They stopped working. This is the first time in 40 years.

Tom Haas said: "We gave them the plan. They said no and left. Two hours were left."

Kris from NJ Transit said: "We will talk later."

He said, "I want to talk again soon. If they want to meet today, I will meet them. If they want to meet tomorrow, I will meet them. I think we can find a way to fix this. Do they want to find a fix?"

Murphy said: "We want a deal. It must be good for workers. It must be good for New Jersey too."

The news is here. It is about a job deal. The deal talks took 15 hours. The workers may stop work on Friday at 4 a.m.

NJ Transit has buses and trains in New Jersey. Many people use them to go to New York City. The trains are not running now. People cannot go from New Jersey to New York City by train. The Newark airport also has problems.

The bus company said: We will have more buses. But the buses will have few seats. The buses will go to train stations in New York. The buses start on Monday. We will also use other bus companies. They will go to park and ride places. They will go on weekdays.

But the bus can't take many people. Only a few people can take the bus. So, if you can work at home, please do it.

The trains and buses will not go to the Shakira shows on Thursday and Friday. This is because it is not safe to travel.

They met on Monday in Washington. They talked about it. They will meet again on Sunday.

The money is the problem in talks. The workers want more money. They want to get paid like other train workers. Now, they get $113,000 each year. They want $170,000. The boss, Kris Kolluri, can say yes. Then they can agree.

NJ Transit says the engineers earn a lot of money. The most they can earn is over $200,000 each year.

Kolluri and Murphy said the problem is about money. Can both sides agree? And can NJ Transit pay everyone?

The government can stop the strike, but they do not want to. They did this before in 2022.

Many workers at NJ Transit left for new jobs. Now there are fewer workers. For example, there were 500 engineers. Now there are 450.
